Poly
Calculate matrix characteristic polynomial
Syntax
poly(A) |
A is a matrix |
poly(A) where A is an n-by-n matrix returns an n+1 element row vector whose elements are the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial, det(λI – A). The coefficients are ordered in descending powers: if a vector c has n+1 components, the polynomial it represents is |
poly(v) |
v is a vector |
Returns a row vector whose elements are the coefficients of the polynomial whose roots are the elements of v. |
Example

a=[12,3,7,5,14;6,1,8,3,0;13,9,4,2,10;15,-2,-4,-7,-3;-1,-5,-10,-8,-9] poly(a) |
|
v=[1,2,3,4] poly(v) |
